WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

Business men and heads of govern.
ment departments have sometimes
said to me that they have tried WON.
en- clerks, found them unsatisfactory
and have given up the experiment
Their objections are, that women are
inclined to ask and accept favors and
to excuse themselves for shortcom
ings, and that they, the employers
find it difficult or unpleasant to
bring women to time" and demand
the exact and prompt performance
by them of all their duties,
such as would be required OF
a man in the same place. There
is no excuse for any woman who
takes this line of action, when she
has secured work. She should know
that every time she asks for half
hours leave of absences, every time
she comes into the Office late, every
time she excuses herself, with a
smile, or worse yet, tear, for some
piece of carelessness, she is injuring
not only her own chances of earning
a livelihood, but those of all other
women who have to go out into the
world to earn bread. But have
never failed, when opportunity
offered, to point out to those
who so frankly gave me
their objections to women
clerks that upon the employers
themselves rested fully half of the
responsibility. To my question,
did you really take pains to engage
an intelligent, industrious woman,
expecting of her the same work you
would have expected of man, and
letting her know it, and did you offer
her the wages ordinarily paid man,
with the understanding that she
should do the same work as would
have been required of a man
In the same placer" the reluc-
tAnt answer has nearly always
been mo" He who expects little
Of a servant will get little, usually,
and he who gives half pay will get
half service. For the hundreds of
women who have at some time in
their lives worked, in a slip shod
fashion, in some Office for a little
while, all the time kindly treated by
their employers, but who found
themselves suddenly dismissed some
bright morning, without explanation,
it may be, these objections to women
clerks, made by friendly men, often,
should furnish food for reflection. As
for the hundreds of officials and
business men who have at some pc
Rod in their lives engaged some wa
man to work for them because she

four quarts per acre. It grew wonder
fully; when 1t was thoroughly blown out
and some heads had begun to turn, it
was cut, and the name pea-vine clover
was never more appropriately given than
to this crop. Coarse, measuring more
than feet in length, leaves nearly all
gone, with nothing but a coarse, woody
stalk with head on the end of it. 1t
was nearly worthless for feeding. It's
chief value was for bedding the yard
down, which we did, stock refusing to
eat anything but the head and a few
leaves just around it.
Now, after nearly forty years of ex-
perience, my method is something like
this: | would SOW four quarts of large
clover, two of small, one of alsike, six of
timothy per acre. My time for cutting
the crop for hay would be controlled by
the condition of the large clover. The
time should be studied very carefully;
when the head commences to form, decay
commences at the stalk next to the
ground, so while it is apparently gaining
at the head it is depreciating ten times as
fast at the other end until the head is in
full bloom, when the stalk is nearly worth
less. My time for cutting is when the
heads have about half of them made their
appearance; they will be little nubs the
size of the end of your little finger, with
no blossom. At this stage the leaves are
oil on down to the ground, the stalk is
green and tender. In cutting when, it is
just wilted it should be punched and
should stand two or three days according
TO the weather. The day it is to be
drawn, about 8 o'clock or when the dew
is off, the lunches should be pushed over
into two punches. 1t does not want stirring
out, merely airing. When putting in
NOW use from two to four quarts of salt
to the load, providing they are large of
course, and you have my word for it you
never had hay that stock will eat cleaner
or drive better on. No one can give any
date or time of year to cut large clover.
If the spring is moist and warm it comes
earlier; if rains come late it makes its
growth late. You are sure of a crop, as
it makes its growth when it can, irres-
pective of the time of year.

NJ FERRY MUST FIGHT
Friends and Foes Alike Insisting that
He Must Give Boulanger
Satisfaction.
Frances lingo Ex-Minister Gaining Ill
Popularity Because of His Ira
ducer'S Cowardly Tactics.

LONDON, Aug. 4.-The situation of the
parties to the Boulanger Ferry imbroglio
remains unchanged, except that Gen.
Boulauger's friends are rapidly increasing
in numbers, while those of M. Ferry are
showing corresponding falling off.
When Nj. Ferry denounced Gen. Boulan-
ger in his speech at Epinal as a st.
Arnaud of the music halls" great many
persons, for a variety of reasons, believed
that the ex premier spoke tho truth
not that the ex-war minister had ever
evinced any disposition 10 follow in the
footsteps of that infamous general, but
merely because a statesman of the emil
hence of NJ. Ferry had asserted his CON
viction that Gen. Boulanger cherished
selfish and unpatriotic notions of the
uses to which the army of France should
be put. When Gen. Boulanger challenged
NJ. Ferry these same Frenchmen thought
the formers action an objectionable
piece of impudence, and blindly construed
his resentment of NJ. FeTry's gratuitous
vilifcation into confirmation of the
latter's asseveration of the formers falsi-
ty.
When however, NJ. Ferry, through his
chosen representatives, declined to accord
TO Gen. Boulanger the satisfaction due
from the aggressor to the party aggriev-
ed and ateem pied to shield himself from
the danger of personal injury behind the
technicalities of the code, the scales fell
from the eyes of the followers of the
cham pion of the disastrous Tonquin
campaign, and thoy beheld soldier of
France beset upon all sides by enemies
whose sole cause of enmity was their ieal-
ousy of his well-earned popularity, vainly
seeking to obtain redress from the CO
ward who had traduced him.
Even the most bitter of Gen. koulau-
gers enemies in official, political, and
military circles recognize the fact that
NJ. Ferry must fight. He has reaped all
the glory obtainable from haranguing a
gaping, jeering crowd, and ihdulging in
cheap witticisms and groundless accuse.
tions at the expense of man he thought
to be beyond the limits of striking back,
and he must take the consequences
There is no doubt that there is no more
uncomfortable man in France than NJ
Ferry, but he will find his position still
more uncomfortable if he attem pts to dis
miss this matter with contempt, and &c
throw himself back upon the assump
tion that ne has given General Boulan
gers, an opportunity to obtalnsatisfactioI
of which that officer declined to avail him
self. 1t would be better for M. Ferry tC
be killed by Gen. Boulanger than to at
tempt to live down the contempt arc
ostracism that would surely follow hi'
failure to back up his words. He would
be no more lifeless to those who now
think well of him should bullet from
BoLlanger's pistol pierce his heart thar
he would be ii he should eventually shirk
the danger of duel by an abject resor
to snbterfuge and quibbling at immateri
al provisions of the code.
